We recently took a look at how to animate like Lemmino where we covered the 2D aspect of it. This time we will be tackling the 3D aspect of it. The style is super similar to Imperial, Neo, and Fern to name a few. It's all heavily reliant on good narratio/story but also really well composed 3D scenes. The most important parts of it are lighting, models, environment, and camera movement.

    I've been working with blender for a couple years and have been repeating the Imperial style for myself and I have to say that it's actually much deeper and not as simple as it seems, but this video does a great job of showing the base, great job!

Because actually you know we are beginners and have no money ( we can't do risk ) so we are forced to use free or paid lifetime programs Sorry for my English and this long comment but you can't understand how this can be life changing.

I don’t have any experience doing animations in Davinci so it’s not something I can teach. At least not at this current point in time. The Adobe apps are definitely not cheap. Most of the time you can talk to their support and get a discount. If you’re a student you can get a discount.
